General description
During apoptosis, beta actin is cleaved by activated caspase 3 between Asp244 and Gly245. This cleavage results in the release of an approximately 130 amino acid (15 kDa) fragment from the C-terminus of beta actin and a 32 kDa (244 amino acid) N-terminal fragment of actin, known as Fractin. The C-terminus of the Fractin fragment represents an apoptosis-specific neoepitope that is not antigenic in native full-length beta actin and therefore presents a novel and specific marker for distinguishing apoptotic from necrotic cells.
Specificity
By immunohistochemistry and Western blot, this antibody only recognizes the 32 kDa Fractin fragment but not full-length beta actin.
Immunogen
K-YELPD peptide representing the last five amino acids of the C-terminus of the 32 kDa Fractin fragment of beta-Actin. This sequence is absolutely conserved in Fractin fragments from human, mouse, rat, feline, porcine, ovine, bovine, canine, rabbit and guinea pig origin.
Application
Detect Fractin using this Anti-Fractin Antibody, C-terminus validated for use in WB, IC, IH(P).
Immunohistochemistry/Immunocytochemistry: 1:400-1:1000. 1 hr at 37°C or 4°C overnight. Note: If studying paraffin-embedded tissue, the use of antigen retrieval methods is recommended.
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:4000 for incubation overnight at 4°C. Recommended antibody dilution buffer: TBS with 3% BSA and 0.05% Tween 20, pH 7.4
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Our previous study demonstrated caspase independent DNA fragmentation after very brief cerebral ischemia, the mechanism of which was unclear. In this study, we explore whether actin is cleaved following focal cerebral ischemia, and whether these structural changes of actin might

ADAR2 is a nuclear enzyme essential for GluR2 pre-mRNA editing at Q/R site-607, which gates Ca2+ entry through AMPA receptor channels. Here, we show that forebrain ischemia in adult rats selectively reduces expression of ADAR2 enzyme and, hence, disrupts RNA

Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein secreted in maternal milk presenting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It shows efficient absorption into the brain from nutritional source. Brain injury frequently resulting from cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI) has a high incidence in premature infants

Introduction: Prematurity, through brain injury and altered development is a major cause of neurological impairments and can result in motor, cognitive and behavioral deficits later in life. Presently, there are no well-established effective therapies for preterm brain injury and the

Lactoferrin (Lf), component of maternal milk, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Neuroprotective effects of Lf on the immature brain have been recently shown in rodent models of intrauterine growth restriction and cerebral hypoxia/ischemia. Here we postulated that Lf could
